just go down the road to the next wendy's and try that one.wow, what a post
These companies want way too much from a applicant for what the job is. You can find another easy enough.
You can do better than a dead end job.Did you forget who you were responding to?
Did you forget who you were responding to?Despite being here for nearly 20 years I have no idea who TC is.
Yeah I don't know why they reject so much but the whole process is a pain in the assThat's when you tell them how you can be contacted by phone and you leave.
One time I was applying at Burger King and the lady kept me waiting for 4 hours before they told me to come back tomorrow. Then I waited for another 4 hours until this fat woman came out and told me I wasn't what they were looking for.
I waited 8 hours on a sticky plastic bench for an interview and wasn't even mad about it, and yet I'm still not good enough to flip burgers. Ok.
Probably because I answered one of the stupid questions wrong. That or the lady just hated men. I also think employers in general shun guys with long hair.
How are companies gonna turn down anyone when everyone is short handed? It makes no sense. My job does that too for some reason. If you are short handed you hire anyone you can and if they don't work out you just fire them.

This is the mindset of someone who has never had to hire. Sometimes hiring the wrong person is worse than just stretching your hours with the people you already have.If they are a shitty worker then fire them, don't go on months long stretches of being short handed, that's worse for employee morale than having a shitty worker in for 2 weeks

I could really only see this rationale in an extremely simple warehouse job, but even then, I've worked jobs like that where they hire someone useless that drags things down.

It legally doesn't work that way.You can always find a legal reason to fire a shitty worker, they're a shitty worker after all

Right now I have a coworker who does a decent job, he's not a world beater or anything but he's good enough, and they didn't even want to hire him, he had to call back multiple times before they gave him a chance. We have been severely shorthanded at that position for months as well. Also they have had to hold back on giving full promotions because of it. How would you feel if you were told you can cross train at your new position but you can't completely leave your current position yet because you are too short handed?

Doesn't sound like you're in fast food / retail and have no concern for the law.I'm not in either of those, and I do care for the law but like, you can get fired for poor workplace performance, if you are a shitty worker you probably have bad performance, or you come in late, or you are getting in fights with/harassing other employees/ customers. How bad can you be and not do something worthy of getting fired over?
You can always find a legal reason to fire a shitty worker, they're a shitty worker after allWhat kind of work is it? I'd probably leave because it sounds like a dumphole.

I'd probably leave because it sounds like a dumphole.Winery with a kitchen, it has its problems but it's the best paying job I ever had, the biggest problem is mostly being short handed and not hiring people though I could probably go to any fancy restaurant with the experience I got here and possibly make more but I also get great insurance here
Winery with a kitchen, it has its problems but it's the best paying job I ever had, the biggest problem is mostly being short handed and not hiring people though I could probably go to any fancy restaurant with the experience I got here and possibly make more but I also get great insurance hereDamn, that's awesome that you get insurance at a kitchen job. I've worked kitchens from holes in the wall to 5-star remote lodge stuff. Sorry for being rude, I'm sure it's not a dumphole. Kitchens are inherently stressful as hell and have high turnover. I'm glad I'm not in the industry any more. Your logic definitely works out for dishwashers and probably some other staff.
That's when you tell them how you can be contacted by phone and you leave.At that point I just felt like they were trying to make me leave so I sat there out of spite.
It legally doesn't work that way.Many US states have adopted an at will employment status where employees and employers may quit or fire at will without any cause or notice
At that point I just felt like they were trying to make me leave so I sat there out of spite.What kind of job was this?
I would have literally sat there for multiple more days.
What kind of job was this?
The only question Burger King should be asking is "are you willing to spend 8 hours doing something you don't want to do"were you over 30? Don't most fast food places prefer younger workers and kinda look down on guys over 30? though that may be unfair.
I proved that I was capable of that.
I used to work at toys r us and every Christmas we would have the one seasonal worker who was literally useless, too dumb to put stuff in the right spot on the shelf. We would have that person do cardboard. One year I heard a weird banging noise so I went to the back and the dumb ass of that year was beating on the bailer with a mallet I asked what he was doing and he just kinda makes a weird shrug. Dumb ass had broken the bailer by beating the circuit box with the hammer because he couldn't get the door pulled down all the way.
Did you forget who you were responding to?I disdain the worker shame. What kind of proletariat are you, anyway?
I applied at my current company directly and was rejected. I went through a recruiter and the recruiter got me in at the same company that had turned me down lol i ended up working 8 years there then left. Got laid off at the new place 5 years later and went back to my old company which iv been there now for 2 years...This
Those words are an all too familiar refrain I get from employers...I guess it happens to everyone....what words?
